For others who did not know what EB-1 is (like me):
> The EB-1 is a preference category for United States employment-based permanent residency. It is intended for "priority workers". Those are foreign nationals who either have "extraordinary abilities", or are "outstanding professors or researchers", and also includes "some executives and managers of foreign companies who are transferred to the US". It allows them to remain permanently in the US.
> Therefore, applicants who can demonstrate their extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics through sustained national or international acclaim are not required to have a permanent offer of employment in the US and are eligible to self-petition, however, they must intend to work in the US in their field of expertise.

One example being none other than the present FLOTUS. Clearly, she had enough patents, publications, and/or athletic and cultural achievements to qualify as an EB-1 recipient.
(Oh, hi. How's that swamp-draining coming along, guys?)
I have a vehement hatred for the whole Trump family but there's no evidence of illegal immigration and the rest of that is hearsay and doesn't belong on HN. Please provide references if you wish to make such statements.
